| Contact
lenses come in two basic types of material: soft and rigid gas permeable (hard)
lenses. Both have their advantages; soft contacts allow the option of disposable
or planned replacement with increased comfort, and rigid lenses are the best choice
for people who don't get crisp vision from soft lenses. Sometimes contact lenses
are medically necessary and prescribed for health and visual reasons.
What types of contacts are
best for you?
- If you have astigmatism
there are toric soft contacts or rigid lens options.
- If your vision is not that
crisp with regular contact lenses you may benefit from aspheric soft contact lenses.
- If you need reading glasses
or wear bifocal glasses there are options. Bifocal contacts, monovision, or simple
reading glasses over contacts.
- Coloured contacts can be
fit in many different styles and colours.
- Cosmetic lenses can be
used to mask abnormalities in eye colour or form.
- There are also fun cosmetic
lenses for occasions such as halloween.

an appointment to discuss and explore what contact lens option is best for you.
